Product details
This is a hand-painted wooden Ganesha bust, made in the Etikoppaka style of turned-wood lacquer craft by artisans in Andhra Pradesh. Unlike a full standing figure, it's just the head and shoulders, with a curled trunk, large patterned ears and a small conical crown, meant to sit directly on a table or shelf without a separate base.
Product Highlights

•
Large, Patterned Ears - Ears are painted with a swirl and dot design that stands out against the base colour.
•
No Separate Base Needed - Sits directly on a flat surface, so there's nothing extra to set up or align.

Why Choose This Wooden Table Ganesha
•
Fits Where a Full Figure Won't - The bust form is compact enough for a study table, office desk or entryway shelf where a full standing doll would look oversized.
•
Ganesha Comes First - Traditionally worshipped before other deities at the start of any pooja or festival, making this a fitting addition ahead of a Navratri golu.
•
A Colourful Surprise Either Way - Whether you receive the green or the red piece, both carry the same gold-toned striped detailing, so it works with most decor either way.
•
Hand-Painted Character - Brush-painted detailing means the finish has natural variation rather than a uniform factory look.
•
Manageable Size for Gifting or Shipping - Compact enough to pack and send without special handling.
Frequently Asked Questions
•
Does the Wooden Table Ganesha come with a base or stand?
No, it's a bust form meant to sit directly on a flat surface, so there's no separate base to attach.
•
Is this doll made using Etikoppaka craft?
Yes. It is made using the Etikoppaka Bommalu technique, a turned-wood lacquer craft from Andhra Pradesh where wood is shaped on a lathe and finished with hand-painted colour.
•
What colour options are available for this Ganesha bust?
It comes in green or red, both finished with the same gold-toned striped detailing. Since colour can't be selected at checkout, the one you receive is assigned at random - if you have a preference, it's worth checking with us before ordering rather than assuming you'll get a specific colour.
•
Is this suitable for an office desk or entryway table, not just a golu display?
Yes, its compact bust form and lack of a base make it an easy fit for everyday spots like a desk, entryway table or bookshelf, in addition to golu displays.
•
Is this piece safe to keep around young children?
It's best kept as a display piece rather than a plaything, since the painted wooden surface isn't meant for handling by young children.
